St. Croix River

A sure sign that the time to return was ripe
for the raspberries were
at Raspberry Landing.

This rustic lodge
upon the mystic waters
of the wild and heathen Saint Croix
Where once I taught the mysteries
of Earth and Wind and Fire and Water.
Opened portals

that others may travel
between the worlds.

Quantum Entanglement
draws me back
after so many long years.

Walking paths I knew not
encountering ruins
that were ruined
before my time.

A wishing well
though silted full
granting wishes still.

Built alongside gushing brook
and ancient waterstone walls
that once held pools serene
now toppled over
torn down by torrents
that would not abide constraint
no matter how serene
on their way to the wild Saint Croix.

Cnawan Fahey has walked down countless roads in this lifetime, but has found his greatest fulfillment in serving both as a Wilderness Guide and as a Spiritual Guide.
His personal credo is "Explore the Great Mystery", a credo which he has lived out in his many excursions through a multiplicity of Eco-Systems and Belief-Systems.
Like many other spiritual seekers, Cnawan has found the veils between the spiritual and physical planes to be the most transparent in the natural world. There, Spirit reveals itself in all of it glory.
In his work as a lay minister at an interfaith church, Cnawan has facilitated earth rituals designed to immerse the psyche into the metaphors of the season and to align the soul with the cycles of the Earth.
Cnawan has also led a variety of Eco-Spirituality immersion trips, outings, and workshops, and has taught wilderness survival skills as a form of ritual to connect with the Earth.
